SEVENDUST Drummer: 'We're Already Dabbling Into The Next Record'

February 3, 2011

Aaron Manogue of Hard-Rock-Reviews.com recently conducted an interview with SEVENDUST drummer Morgan Rose. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.

Hard-Rock-Reviews.com: What keeps you going personally and wanting to continue making music?

Morgan Rose: You know, there's the cliche, "I do it for the music," but it's very therapeutic. Usually in every record there's a story that went on in that past year or two, and it's something that is a great outlook for us. We do actually call this a job, even though it's kind of embarrassing to use that term. When you leave your kids, leave your family, and you do it for as long as we have, I think we've justified it by now. I think people can say, "Well yeah, this is a job." Creating music and performing is what we do, and we were blessed enough to be in the right place at the right time. It's something that's very special to us.

Hard-Rock-Reviews.com: With the continuing success of your 2010 release, "Cold Day Memory", what is it like to have [guitarist] Clint Lowery back in the band? His sound is clearly evident (guitar-wise),but what does he bring back to the table for SEVENDUST?

Morgan: He's definitely my brother and also my musical soulmate. There's no doubt that when I sit down with him, if we wanted to, we could probably write twenty songs in a day. We're really tough on each other when it comes to different parts of writing music, and that's the reason it takes any time to do a song between us. He's creative in all areas. He's a great singer, guitar player, and songwriter, and he's great to watch play live. He has all the tools to be a monster, so having that back in the band was huge. We survived without him, but we can thrive with him.

Hard-Rock-Reviews.com: Are there any new projects or new SEVENDUST music on its way that fans can look forward to?

Morgan: We're already actually dabbling into the next record. The plan is to finish this tour out, with a break in February, and then we go to Australia for a few weeks. Then we'll come back to finish this tour at the end of March. After that we'll take most of April off, and probably in May we might go out and do a little short run, going to Europe and doing the festivals in June and July. Afterward, we'll probably come back and do the summer festivals over here, and next we'll probably do an acoustic run. Finally, after all that, we'll get into the new record towards the end of the year.
